摘要:
The article reports a study investigating whether a positive relationship exists between a battered woman's perceptions of loss and her perceptions of health. The study further investigated whether a period of time away from the abusive situation would change the battered woman's perceptions of loss and her perceptions of health. A convenience sample of 20 women who had experienced battering and abuse and had sought help at a protective shelter was studied. Questionnaires on perception of loss, health response, and demographics were used for the collection of data. The findings indicated that a significant relationship exists between a battered woman's perceptions of loss and her perception of health. Perceptions of loss and health were shown to decline after a period of S days away from the abusive situation. Additional qualitative data obtained from in-depth interviews were also found to be consistent with the quantitative results and supported the literature documented in this study.
